- General Note:
- The Berbice gazette, published in New Amsterdam, Berbice, began between 1804 (Berbice gazette, December 7, 1901, page 1) and 1806 (Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, October 1918, page 285), depending on the source consulted, although there is reference to a newspaper located in New Amsterdam by this name in a letter dated May 7, 1805 (Kort historisch verhaal van den eersten aanleg, lotgevallen en voortgang der particuliere colonie Berbice, gelegen in het landschap Guiana in Zuid-America, 1807). Nicolaas Volkerts is often credited with establishing the Berbice gazette, however he was publishing the Essequebo and Demerary gazette in Stabroek, Demerara (now Georgetown, Guyana) until 1806, when he lost his status as the government printer to his former partner, then rival, Edward James Henery, publisher of the Essequebo and Demerary royal gazette. Volkerts remained in Demerara until July 1807, making it unlikely for him to have been the original publisher of the Berbice gazette. By 1813, the newspaper had been sold to William Schulz, who would oversee publication of the newspaper for the next two to three decades. In 1822, the title of the paper was briefly changed to the Berbice gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, before becoming the Berbice royal gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, a few months later. Around 1837, the name of the paper was shortened to the Berbice advertiser, which only lasted until May 1840 (Journal of the Statistical Society of London, July 1841, page 125). The discontinuation of the Berbice advertiser may have been a result of a libel suit against the then publisher John Emery (Legal observer, or, Journal of jurisprudence, November 9, 1844, page 19). Whatever the reason behind the cessation of the Berbice advertiser, it was soon after replaced by another iteration of the Berbice gazette, started by George A. M'Kidd around 1841. Sometime between 1846 and 1858, the name of the newspaper changed to become the Berbice gazette and British Guiana advertiser (The Creole, March 6, 1858, page 1). Publication was suspended for a few months that year but returned in December 1858 as a weekly newspaper with a new publisher, John Thompson (The Creole, December 11, 1858, page 2). Thompson returned the name of the newspaper to the Berbice gazette in 1877 and continued to publish it until his death in 1879. Charles Edwin Hooten purchased the newspaper and ran it for the next 8 years, until falling into the hands of its final publisher, William MacDonald. The Berbice gazette published its final issue on March 29, 1902.

, The President this day sent the following
•. to Congress :—»
li{ To the Senate and House of Representatives oj
I â– the United States.
, “ Peace having happily taken plac© between the
United States and Great Britain, it is desirable to
guard against accidents which, during the periods
.of war in Europe, might tend to interrupt it; and it
l is believed, in particular, that the navagation of
American vessels exclusively by American Seamen,
•ither natives or such as are already naturalised,;
would not only conduce to the attainment of that ob- (
ject, but also to increase the number of our seamen, }
and consequently to reader our commerce and navi-'
Ration independent of the service of foreigners, who |
might be recalled by their Governments under cir- |
cumstances the most inconvenient tc the U. States.
I recommend the subject, therefore, the consider--
ition of Congress, and in deciding upon it I am per- <
suaded that they will sufficiently estimate the policy s
of manifesting to the world a desire, on all occasions,,
to cultivate harmony with other nations, by any rea- 1
tonable accommodations which do not impair the s
enjoyment of any of the essential rights ©f a free and
independent people. The example on the part of
the American Govermcnt will merit, and may be ex- <
â– * .

PLOI Sin SPEED EN against B t
According to private accounts from Sweden a f
covery has been made, which,although not
explained, is understood to indicate ad
even a plot, to remove Bernadotc from tie
and to restore the regular hereditary dy Uaslj W
son of the late King, who is, according to every F'
account, a youth of great promise and
cation, trained up under the special careofhi S)nol | I jß|
who is a woman of excellent conduct and ahityi|
Princess of Baden, and sister to the Empress of»
sia. On the discovery to which we aUude,
Pipper, who we believe was Chancellor of the |
lom, one of the principals, is said to have shot E
self; and General Adlercreutz, Commander
Forces, was ordered into exile; several otherwmSj
of high distinction being at the same timcreati 1
their estates.
We are not surpiised that since all Europe has bee© £
restored tc nearly th it date of sovereignty i n which £
(he French Revolution found it, there should exists gd
< the North, as in Naples, a strong party, whichfelth on
’•f tUpir con.dry was humiliated by being Icftundea J
• a nNv dynasty, sptinging out of that J
while every other nation was refusing with howto V e
the anciently established order of things. Such fed VC |
ings arc natural to mankind, and wc ar© pron©U ui
respect what is Venerable from antiquity—loved be- b
cause our forefathers loved it, and the rsniemberacii u;
of which Is cherished among our own early acwi. w
t ions. These emotions are the scourcc of a dioa
at innovation, upon which even every triflingcii. so,
cumstancc working, is the cans© why usurpatioiii
iso unstable, and recently acquired poxver so diflWt
’to be maintained. Thera was a rumour that th n
Crown Prince was willing to resign in favour oflh
' son rs Gustavus ; and while it is obvieus that the&- | e
lied Sovereigns could not urge such a seltlemcat,it
is n©t to be disguished that it would be univenafy La
applauded, and secured to the Crown Prince a a«? | {o

one-fifth of my crew killed and wounded, my ship
crippled, and a mnre than fourfold force opposed to
me, without a change of escape left, I deemed it my
duty to surrender.
It is with emotions of pride I bear testimony of the
gallantry and steadiness of every officerand men I
had the honour to command, on this occasion; and 1
feel that the fact of their having beaten a
force equal to themselves, in the presence and almost
under the guns of so vastly a superior force, when,
, too, it was almost selfcvident, that whatever their
.exertions might be, they must ultimately be captured,
will be taken as evidence of what they would have
k formed, and the force opposed to them been in any
, degree equal.
It is with extreme pain, 1 have to inform you, that
Lieutenants Babbit, Hamilton, and Howell, fell in the
action. They have left no superior officer behind
(hem.
. If, Sir, the issue of this affair had been fortunate-, I
r should have felt it my duty to have recommended to
f your attention Lieutenants Shabricks and Galleghcr.
—They maintained through the day the reputation
„ they had acquired in former actions.
LieutenantTwiggs, of the marines, displayed great
zeal; his men were well supplied, and their fire in in(comparable,
(comparable, in(comparable, so leng a® the enemy continued within
musket range.
Midshipman Randolph,wl;ohad charge of the fore forecastle
castle forecastle division, managed it to my entire satisfaction,
i From Mr. Robinson, who was serving us as volun-
I leer, I received essential aid, particularly after I was
r deprived of the services of the Master, and the severe
loss 1 had sustained in my officers on the quarter-
J deck.
( Our loss in killed and wounded lam unable at pre pre(sent
(sent pre(sent to give you a correct statement; the attention of
ihe Surgeon being so entirely occupied with the
I wounded, that he was unable to make out a correct
return when I left the President, noi shall I be able to
( nake it until our arrival in port, wc having parted
company with the squadron yesterday. The enclos enclosed
ed enclosed list, with the exception, 1 fear, of its being short
.ol the number, will be found correct.
i For 24 hours after the action, it was nearly calm :
’ and the squadron were occupied in repairing the crip crippled
pled crippled ships. Such of the crew of the President as
were not badly wounded, were put on board the dif difrent
rent difrent ships; rayself and a part of my crew were put
on board this ship. On the 17th w> had a gale from
tlie eastward, when this ship lost her bowsprit, fore
md mainmasts, and mizen topmast, all of which were
badly wounded, and was in consequence of her dis disabled
abled disabled condition obliged to throw over board all her
upper-deck guns. Her loss in killed and wounded
must have been very great; 1 have not been able to
ascertain the extent. Tea were buried after I came,
on board (36 hours after the action); the badly
wounded, such as are obliged to keep their cots, oc occupy
cupy occupy the starboard-side of the gun-deck, from the
cabin bulk-head to the main-mast. Frpm tbe crip,-

could not have saved her masts, and I feel serious
apprehensions for the safety of our wounded left on

I recommend the subject, therefore, the consider-ition of Congress, and in deciding upon it I am per< suaded that they will sufficiently estimate the policy s of manifesting to the world a desire, on all occasions,, to cultivate harmony with other nations, by any rea1 tonable accommodations which do not impair the s enjoyment of any of the essential rights ©f a free and independent people.

She jntof tjjmenceil fire upon ns, but without effect. Atrne' L'hn, the wind became light and baffling; we hail W eaii{ ’d our distance from the razee, but the next a stern, which was also a large ship, had gained ustinlid continued to gain upon us considerably. We ' occupied all hands to lighten ship, by water, cutting away the anchors, throwing provisions, cables, spare spars, boats, ani erticle that could be got at, keeping the sail* fcdwvct from the royals down.. At 3, wc had the wine 1,1 b’iuite light; the enemy, who had now been joined by had strong breeze, and were coming up with wc|jj rapidly. The Endymion (mounting 50 guns, 24**• fcouflders on the main-deck) had now approached us gun-shot, and had commenced a fire with her to*lbw guns, which we refurnerd from our stern. —At 35 a ls o’clock she had obtained a position bn our starboard within half point-blank shot, on which neither "wlrltefn nor quarter guns would bear. We were now E. by N. the wind N. W. I remained with in this position for half an hour, in the hope that Jibe would close with u? on our broadside, in which "I lease I had prepared my crew to board; but from hi> * leontinuing to yaw his ship to maintain his position, it Ime evident that to close was not his intention. ry fire now cut some of our sails or tigging. To continued our course nnder these circumstances,’ d have been placing it in his power to criple us, out being subject to injury himself; ami to have rd up more to the northward, to bring our stern to bear, would have exposed us to the rakiug —lt was now dusk, when I determined to alter ourse south, for the purpose of bringing the enabeam; and although their ships astern, were iog up fast, I felt satiffied I should be enabled to v him out of the combat before they could come and wai not without hopes, if the night proved (of which there was every appearance), that 1 t still be enabled to effect my escape. Our opnt kept off at the same instant we did, and our ommenced at the same time. We continued enig, steering S. with steering sails set, two hours i half, when we completely succeeded in disling her. Previously to her dropping entirely € the action, there were intervals of minutes, the were breadside and broadside, in li she did not fire a gun. At this period (halfiight o’clock),.although dark, the other ships i squadron were in sight, and almost within gnnWe wsre, of course, compelled to abandon her. earning bur former course for the purpose ol avoiding the squadron, we were compelled topresent our stern to our antagonist; but such was his state, though we were thus exposed within range of his ? guns for half an hour, that he did not avail himself ol this favourable opportunity of raking us. We continued this Bourse until 11 o’clock, when twe fresh Ji ips of the enemy (the Pomone and Tenedos) had come up. The Poment had opened her fire on the (aboard bow, within musket shot, the other about two cables’ lenght astern, taking a raking position, on our quarter; and the rest (with exception of the Endymion) within gun-shot. Thus situated, with about one-fifth of my crew killed and wounded, my ship crippled, and a mnre than fourfold force opposed to me, without a change of escape left, I deemed it my duty to surrender. It is with emotions of pride I bear testimony of the gallantry and steadiness of every officerand men I had the honour to command, on this occasion; and 1 feel that the fact of their having beaten a force equal to themselves, in the presence and almost under the guns of so vastly a superior force, when, , too, it was almost selfcvident, that whatever their .exertions might be, they must ultimately be captured, will be taken as evidence of what they would have k formed, and the force opposed to them been in any , degree equal. It is with extreme pain, 1 have to inform you, that Lieutenants Babbit, Hamilton, and Howell, fell in the action. They have left no superior officer behind (hem. . If, Sir, the issue of this affair had been fortunate-, I r should have felt it my duty to have recommended to f your attention Lieutenants Shabricks and Galleghcr. —They maintained through the day the reputation „ they had acquired in former actions. LieutenantTwiggs, of the marines, displayed great zeal; his men were well supplied, and their fire in(comparable, so leng a® the enemy continued within musket range. Midshipman Randolph,wl;ohad charge of the forecastle division, managed it to my entire satisfaction, i From Mr. Robinson, who was serving us as volunI leer, I received essential aid, particularly after I was r deprived of the services of the Master, and the severe loss 1 had sustained in my officers on the quarterJ deck. ( Our loss in killed and wounded lam unable at pre(sent to give you a correct statement; the attention of ihe Surgeon being so entirely occupied with the I wounded, that he was unable to make out a correct return when I left the President, noi shall I be able to ( nake it until our arrival in port, wc having parted company with the squadron yesterday. The enclosed list, with the exception, 1 fear, of its being short .ol the number, will be found correct. i For 24 hours after the action, it was nearly calm : ’ and the squadron were occupied in repairing the crippled ships. Such of the crew of the President as were not badly wounded, were put on board the difrent ships; rayself and a part of my crew were put on board this ship. On the 17th w> had a gale from tlie eastward, when this ship lost her bowsprit, fore md mainmasts, and mizen topmast, all of which were badly wounded, and was in consequence of her disabled condition obliged to throw over board all her upper-deck guns. Her loss in killed and wounded must have been very great; 1 have not been able to ascertain the extent. Tea were buried after I came, on board (36 hours after the action); the badly wounded, such as are obliged to keep their cots, occupy the starboard-side of the gun-deck, from the cabin bulk-head to the main-mast. Frpm tbe crip,pled state of the President'& spars, I feel satisfied she could not have saved her masts, and I feel serious apprehensions for the safety of our wounded left on board. It is due to Capt. Hope to state, that every dltenion has been paid by him to myself and Officers that have been placed on board his ship, that delicacy and humanity could dictate.—l have, &c. Steph in Decatur. Killed on board ike President— Three Lieutenants and 21 seamen. Wounded— Sailing-Master Rogers, Mr. Robinson, two Midshipmen, one Master’sMate, and 50 men. Augsburg, Jan. 20. According to the Austrian army list, just published, the militia establishment of that empire consists at present of 74 regiments of infantry of the line, 14 battalions of light infantry, among which are some tree corps, 37 regiments or cavalry and several regiments of Artillery.

The situation of our Court in regard to that of Rome is daily becomming more difficult. His Holiness has confined in th® Castle St. Angelo several Neapolitans, holding military rank and employ raents,styling them robbers and chiefs of banditti. There has been seditious movements in th® Calabrias. The Princess of Wales will prolong her May hero till the month of May. > T _ Napier, Jan. 28. ’It appears that our Court wished to make reprisals with regard to the Court of Rome, and to avenge th® insults offered to our Consul-General; but the polfc® has thrown an air of pleasantry over the Light days ago, three persons of a religious otxler K calling themselves missionaries, arrived here. i were, iu fact, furnished with authority from the Apostolic Chancery to make collections for the entertainment and restoration of their order. They exhibited the signatures of the greatest families in Europe, and of the most illustrious prelates, and thus got access to the first families of the kingdom. The ‘ police conceived that it s>w in them three agents of ’ the Court of Rome; it therefore caused them to be arrested, and made them undergo several examina((ions. They spoke equally well the Polish, German and French Languages. At first they were desirous 'of giving great eclat to this affair, when they discoi vered that these three priests were in fact three rob* bers belonging to the association in the valley of Bor. deggiana, in the Appennines; that all their papers were mere forgeries. They were consigned to the • hands of Justice, and for this time ocr police has not . had occasion to humiliate the Holy Father. * * ’ Rome, Jan. 29. . The Neapolitan troops have not yet penetrated into our city s but they keep it, as it were, in a stat? of 'blockade, and the interrupted communications wi'h the kingdom of Naples are become very difficult. . There are 25,000 men about Rome. We are assnrPed that (here are in the number some Austrian battalions: however, we cannot confirm this, as we can i see only Neapolitan bivouacs from our wall. Pafroles I of lancers have had the audacity to ride even to the } gates of the city : they were open, and we are without defence. Nothing was more easy than to give ae ‘i be finishing blow; but such is the veneration inspired .by the capital of the Christian world, that it seems I that a Prince who respects nothing else, trembles to place within it a sacrilegious foot.
